Roxy gave me the most orange kitten ever. She's really cute and fluffy.
I named her Orangina.
Last night she slept on my pillow by Lil' Cal. When school starts, she's coming with me too.

He seems to want everyone to believe otherwise. But I suppose that's Dave for you.

Thank you, Dirk.

[givesyouaboner]

I don't know how he tries to come off as to others, but I can assure you that he's always been the coolest person I've known.

No problem.

[spangledplan]

I guess he can be pretty cool. Sometimes he seems more like a huge nerd.

You're a good kid.

[givesyouaboner]

Whaaat?
Like when?
Who says being a nerd is bad, anyway? It just connotates that you like learning.

_{[Have some ink splatter.}
I'm just me.

[spangledplan]

Like pretty much all the time. And it's not a bad thing, but when you call yourself an ironic cool kid don't you think a nerd is the opposite?


You happen to be a good kid, from what I've seen.

[givesyouaboner]

Dave is definitely more coolkid than nerd. It's statistically impossible for it to be any other thing.

I'm at a loss of words.

[spangledplan]

Your statistics might not be true.

Is that a bad thing?

[givesyouaboner]

My statistics are flawless.


I'm not sure.

[spangledplan]

How many tests have you run?

Oh. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

[givesyouaboner]

Enough to know that my research is conclusive. Even factoring in a margin for error, statistics show with 98% accuracy that there is no one cooler than Dave Strider.

It's fine. I'm simply not accustomed to compliments from people outside of family.

[spangledplan]

Not even yourself? You could be cooler than him.

Well you are pretty young. I don't think you get out much, do you?

[givesyouaboner]

No, I don't think so.

I haven't had much of a reason to.

[spangledplan]

You never know that.

Well now you'll be at school and have plenty of reason.

[givesyouaboner]

I would never want to be cooler than him.
I couldn't handle it.

There's that, yes. Even when I was going to school prior to this, that was pretty much it.

[spangledplan]

Are you sure? I think you could.

A Muggle school? They're so different from Hogwarts, but still so similar.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm pretty sure he handles people a lot better than I do.

Yeah. I'm hoping the courses at Hogwarts are more challenging than the ones I've already taken.

[spangledplan]

Well you're a lot younger than he is. You have time.

They can be. Magic can be rather finicky unlike other sciences.

[givesyouaboner]

Maybe. I can't predict the future.

That works. In the end I just stopped going to school during the last month.
It wasn't much of a loss because it was boring anyway.

[spangledplan]

You could take divination classes in third year.

Let's hope magic proves more interesting.

[givesyouaboner]

What.

Seriously. Otherwise I might have to just quit life.

[spangledplan]

Divination? Predicting the future. Things like that.

Or just find a new thing to do that's never been done.

[givesyouaboner]

Hm. I'll consider it. I don't know much about the courses they offer for the upper years.

Like building magical robots?

[spangledplan]

You'll get a list of them in second year.

Now that would be interesting.

[givesyouaboner]

What do I do if this proves to be too easy as well?

I want to try doing it...

[spangledplan]

You keep trying. You'll find the perfect thing soon enough.


I think you should. I don't know anyone else who's even thought of that.
